Sadly it varies from society to society, country to country. If I talk about my place it is not as great as your place, I assume by your writings. You said in your country citizens aren't allowed to gamble and with gambling tax money government are building many healthcare infrastructures. Well that's a very positive thing. I didn't knew that, gambling platforms and casinos were involved with charity works. Now if I talk about my society, my country it's the opposite. It's spread like a wildfire, from young to old everyone is directly or indirectly involved with gambling activity. The sad thing is there are rules and regulation but the government aren't able to control it. It's harming the common folks. The governments should at least protect the citizens from gambling like your one does.
Well, these differences always exist and not all countries have the same regulations regarding gambling, so the approach or response between society and society of course also has quite significant differences.
In the country I live in, gambling is regulated by law, but here there are still lots of gambling sites that manage to carry out various promotions freely because they pay huge taxes, but these taxes are only eaten by greedy government people of money and wealth.
It just that the laws regarding gambling in my country seem to be blunt up and sharp down, meaning that only small gamblers and also small gambling sites always get into trouble and most often it is the affiliates who work for small sites.
We actually have a common benefits of gambling here mate specifically with lottery. Those things you mentioned above is also similar here in my country where proceeds will be used to buy ambulances, firetrucks and many more. I can see positive outcome from this though sometimes there were controversials that involves in this kind of thing but yeah we're here for just the good benefits. 😁
This is positive thing because taxes can really be allocated to all social activities or humanitarian activities to help people in need.
Incidents like this have occurred in several countries but have not yet spread widely.
Now gamblers are growing rapidly and every time in various countries there are always new gamblers so if most countries implement taxes and use them in such things then it can be very beneficial for people who really need it.
But you need to know that taxes are not always accepted by all gamblers.
